Expert Reply:
I have some good news for you. While an Elite Series head would not work in place of the 16K head on Reese 5th wheel hitches you can use the Select Plus head # 58292. The only other part you would need according to Reese is the center section specific to this head which is # 58293.
Another 20K option is to use the Pro Series head that comes with the center section # 30118. The slider base that you have now in your 2009 Chevy/GMC Silverado/Sierra 2500 is compatible with the above options.
